# ZA/UM’s New Game Tease: The Spy RPG We Didn’t Know We Needed
Ah, ZA/UM Studio, the avant-garde minds behind the revolutionary Disco Elysium, have once again graced us with a teaser for their latest masterpiece, Project [C4]. Spoiler alert: it’s not Disco Elysium 2. Instead, we’re getting a spy RPG. Yes, because when I think of espionage, I definitely imagine existential dread and philosophical debates about capitalism.
## The Legacy of Disco Elysium
For those living under a rock, Disco Elysium was the game that redefined detective RPGs by making you question your life choices and ponder the futility of existence while solving a murder mystery. You can read more about its impact on gaming [here](https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2019/10/14/20913497/disco-elysium-review-pc-rpg-zaum). The game was a critical success, winning awards and hearts globally. And now, the creators have decided to pivot to something entirely different—because why not?
## Enter Project [C4]
So, what exactly is Project [C4]? According to the elusive breadcrumbs dropped by ZA/UM, it’s a spy RPG. That’s right, the same studio that made you question your sanity in a dilapidated city now wants you to don a tuxedo and pretend you’re James Bond.
